“Bro. Branham, it is
commonly believed by many that follow your Message that you are the Messiah of
this day. Is that so?”

No sir! …first place, I am
not the Messiah. See? Messiah is Jesus Christ…and in Him dwelt the Fullness
of the Godhead Bodily. In me just dwells part of His Spirit, the same as He
dwells in you. I've been given a gift to know little things and foresee
things. That makes me just still your brother, see? I am not no Messiah! I am
your brother, see? Just a shepherd to the flock…And if I told you I was the
Messiah, I'd be a liar, see? And I don't want to be a liar.

…the Sister was wrong. I
am not Jesus Christ; I am His servant.
[Questions & Answers Book 4]

I'm telling them not to do
it. But you see, that's got to follow the meeting. Why does people call me
Messiah? …One fellow up there the other day, he had a little thing he was
carrying on, wanted all the people to be baptized in my name, that'd make me
an antichrist. But I'm not for those things at all: you people know that. …That
only identifies the Message as true. Did they not come and try to tell John
that…the First Coming of Christ, “Aren't you the Messiah?” He said, “I
am not.”

2. Was He A WOMAN HATER?

Now you can see why I have
said the things and done the things that I have done, knowing all these in my
heart, brethren, sisters? I know, sisters, you've got your place and a
wonderful character that God can mold in you, but I'm just trying to speak on
the other side to show what you're actually from the beginning. Jesus told us
to go back to the beginning to find it. That's what we are doing.
…All things go back to the beginning.
You can see, today, why people say I'm a woman hater. That's far from the
Truth. I do not. They call me a woman hater. Remember, they called Paul a
woman hater. A woman minister, not long ago, said, “Oh, you're like old
Paul: all he had to do is pick on us women!” [Paul]…a saint of God that
was permitted to write the Bible, the New Testament, and [she] disputed his
words! He said, “If an angel from heaven teaches any other thing than this
that I've said, let him be accursed” — let alone some woman preacher.
[Marriage and Divorce]

“Oh, you are a woman
driver; you're a woman hater — you do this and that!”
No sir! That's not right! That is a falsehood. I do not hate women. No, sir!
They are my sisters — if they are sisters.
[The Second Seal]
